review the year 2010 part 2
The beginning of the year 2010, I declared 5 resolutions that I would do in 2010. It's final day of the year 2010, then I think it's good time to look back all these things. So, here's my 5 resolutions.
1. I will read over 100 books in this year!
Last week, I could clear this resolution. Finally, I've read 103 books in this year. Including one written in English ("The Pursuit of Happyness") and 11 e-books. I could get interested in to Japanese history these days. So, I might read much more about history next year.
2. I will new things!
Fortunately, I could start many things in this year. I could join the art event that I'd never joined. I could learn about photo printing, another programming and so on. I'm still working on this such as Kinect and iPhone app.
3. I will improve my language skills!I think, it's tough to measure it. But I could marked the highest score on TOEIC in September. And I could read many many Japanese books. So, I think I could do this in this year. Of course, I need to keep doing this.
4. I will be morning person!
I think, I could do this until my summer vacation. But now...
I'm so lazy right now. I hope I will be able to become morning person...
5. I will keep posting this blog!
Well, I'm writing this article so... That means I'm keep posting my blog yet.
I think, I could do 5 of 4 from my 2010 resolutions. And I felt I need to specify more. Then I will declare my resolutions for the year 2011 more specified one, I believe.
Well, I could enjoy the year 2010, because I had a lot of exciting things. I could met many powerful and ardent people in this year. Also, these people could boost my motivation, and I could start and keep things that I want to do.
The summer was hot, but it was not only the weather, I felt. I hope I could be a person who have good influence to many people. So, I should learn a lot, try hard and so on.
How did you spend your year 2010?
Thank you and have a great new year!
良いお年を！

Go overseas
Seriously, I need to submit my graduation thesis until Feb., then I cannot go abroad until then. Now, I'm planning to go trip in Feb. or in March. I'm planning to go Seoul. And after that I will go London.
Unfortunately, I couldn't take much time to check some tours yet. I wish I can reserve these trips as soon as possible. I took my passport in 2006, so there's no problem to take much time to take passport anymore. If you have any suggestion, please tell me.
Thank you

4-color ballpoint pen
Last year, my friend suggested me one multicolor ball point pen. That was LAMY's Lamy 2000. I was thinking about this pen about a year. I wish I could buy it, but it's expensive for me... The price was about 6,000 JPY (about 73 USD) at that time.
But I felt the time has come. I ordered this one on Amazon.co.jp as my Christmas present for me. lol
I've received this ballpoint pen before noon. So, I couldn't take much time to use this one, but I felt it's useful and cool. There's only one cap, but control all 4 colors in this cap. It's really cool. But I felt it's bit thick to write in limited area. I think, I can change this one into thinner one. Anyway, I like this multicolor ballpoint pen.
Thank you.

Cycling with friends
It was wonderful weather today, but it's so cold. I was planning to go cycling today with my friends. We were planning to start from our college, over a pass and get to lake. Then came back to our college in different way. We started at about 11.30 and came back to the college at about 15.30. Of course, we took rest at the cafe near the lake. I think, we stayed there more than an hour.
I forgot to record how long it was, but I think the cafe near lake was about 17 km (about 10.6 miles) away from our college. Totally, we ride our bicycle about 43 km (about 26.7 miles) today, I think. (I should reset my cycle computer before we start...)
So, it was really interesting day. I didn't have a chance to go cycling these days, so it's good for me. Also, I felt I should change my tire when I go cycling to such place. Now I'm using 700x32c tire which means 700mm diameter of wheel and 32mm width of the tire. The problem is the tire's width is 32mm. It's too wide for road bike, and not suitable for over a pass, I felt. I wish I can change my bicycle tire as soon as possible. But I like this tire because it's suitable for my daily use. My friends were using 700x23c.
Anyway, I also forgot to take some photos during my cycling today. Then I couldn't upload them... The photo on top is our bicycles, but the photo include jiggle. I think, it's not good photo... I'll take more photos next time.
Thank you.
